Official title
The Evaluation Of Use of Belimumab in Routine Care SEttings in Lupus Nephritis (LN): the OBSErve-LN Study
Overview
The purpose of the OBSErve-LN study is to assess the real-world use and effectiveness of belimumab in routine practice for the treatment of adults with active LN in multiple countries of interest. This study aims to provide the first long-term (up to 5 years) assessment of renal function preservation in belimumab treated participants.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 4 study and will involve both prospective and retrospective data collection from participants.
Interventions
- Other None (Observational study)
Not Applicable since Observational Study
Primary outcome measures
- Number of Participants Maintaining Renal Function (Less than Equal to [<=] 30 Percentage [%] Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [eGFR] from the Initiation of Belimumab) and Not Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy [Time frame: At Month 24]
Secondary outcome measures (7)
- Number of Participants Achieving Modified Partial Renal Response (<=20% Decline in eGFR and <=0.7 Urine Protein-Creatinine Ratio [uPCR]) and Modified Complete Renal Response (<=10% Decline in eGFR and <=0.5 uPCR) [Time frame: At Months 24 and 60]
- Number of Participants Maintaining Renal Function (<=30% Decline in eGFR from the Initiation of Belimumab) and Not Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy (in Those that Remain Adherent to Belimumab) at Month 24 [Time frame: At Month 24]
- Change in the Daily Dose of Steroid (in milligrams per day) from the Initiation of Belimumab [Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Month 60]
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Slope over Time [Time frame: Up to Month 60]
- Time to Achieving eGFR 30% and 40% Reduction [Time frame: Up to Month 60]
- Time to Initiating Renal Replacement Therapy [Time frame: Up to Month 60]
- Number of Participants Maintaining Renal Function (<=30% Decline in eGFR from the Initiation of Belimumab) and Not Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy [Time frame: At Month 60]

- Participant is pregnant at the initiation of belimumab,
- Participant with a kidney transplant at the initiation of belimumab,
- Participants will be excluded from the study if they are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant at study enrollment.
